For the Love of Lovage

At long last, my lovage seedlings have come through. I had very nearly given up hope for them, so their wispy green leaves surfacing is a pleasant sight.I sowed the seeds about a month ago and there hadn’t been any sign of life at all, so I watered them a bit more than I had been and put them under a radiator to get more heat than on the windowsill. Still nothing after a few days. I decided to accelerate the process and let them spend some time in the boiler cupboard. Hey presto, a couple of days later and we’ve our first Lovage seedlings!

I find Seed Parade a good source of seeds – affordable, heirloom, and they’re a small indie company too.@seedparade on Twitter.
